What is the OpenDNS Dynamic IP updater client?

Introduction

Most home networks have dynamic IP addresses. By enabling this option to Enable Dynamic IP Updates, you allow your network to be able to have its IP address changed when your IP address changes. You must still use some software to push the change to OpenDNS however. Please consider downloading our Dynamic IP Updater below.

Where do I download it?

You can find and download the official Dynamic IP updater clients for Windows and Mac using the links in the following table. There are additional third-party clients and services available, but only the ones listed are supported by OpenDNS.

This is the officially supported OpenDNS Mac client, which sends your network's new IP Address to OpenDNS whenever it should change.

Note:

Make sure to enable dynamic IP updates in your dashboard. Go to your dashboard, select the Settings tab, and then select your network. After that, select Advanced Settings and then navigate to the Dynamic IP Update section, select Enable, and then select Apply.
